Read me, baby! Uncork the champagne and toss the confetti, because it's time to celebrate the release of SURRENDER TO SULTRY, the final installment in my hot and humorous Sultry Springs series! This is Colt's story, the bad boy you met in book two. And even though he's a changed man, believe me when I say he's still PLENTY naughty... Feeling the Heat How do you stay under the sheriff's radar in a town that prides itself on knowing everyone's business? Leah's not sure it's possible, but she's determined to avoid Colton Bea for as long as she can. Seeing him again would be too heartbreaking-and she knows from experience his bone-melting kisses are way too tempting. Colt still hasn't forgiven Leah for her sudden disappearing act ten years ago. He may no longer be the hellion he was in high school, but he's still willing to play dirty to get what he wants. And he won't let Leah get away again. Armed with chocolate éclairs, a killer...

By Macy Beckett Happy Saturday, fellow romance lovers! I'm Macy Beckett, author of the Sultry Springs series, and I'm here today to offer you a once-in-a-lifetime collector's item: a mutant ARC of my third book, SURRENDER TO SULTRY. What's a mutant ARC? I'm glad you asked! It's an advance copy that left the printer looking a little...well, let's say "special." The book was accidentally cut into the shape of a coffin--wide at the top, narrow at the bottom--instead of rectangular. Additionally, the cover image (which has changed since the ARC was printed) is noticibly crooked. Here's a picture of how SURRENDER TO SULTRY will look on bookstore shelves: Pretty in Pink! And here's a picture of the mutant ARC: A face only a mother could love. Trust me when I say photos don't do the mutant ARC justice. You'll have to hold it in your hands to appreciate it's...uniqueness. And not to worry--the text is cropped too ...

By Macy Beckett Howdy, romance readers! I’m Macy Beckett, author of the Sultry Springs trilogy, and I’m here to share the new-and-improved cover for the third book in my series, SURRENDER TO SULTRY. This is Colton’s story—the wild-as-weeds deputy you met in book two, where he starred in the bawdy reality show Sex in the Sticks . Colt’s the county sheriff now, and he’s a changed man hoping for a second chance with his first love, Leah McMahon. Here’s the original cover: The design team had hoped vibrant fall colors would help the book stand out on the shelf. But between the battling hues of leaves, water, grass, and text, it’s overwhelming. And then there’s the couple. They look nothing like Colt (a long-haired Scots-Irish Cherokee) and Leah, (a petite blonde). It also doesn’t match the general look of the first two covers. So when the publisher asked the team to create something new, I was thrilled. Which leads us to the final cover… Isn’t that easier on the eyes, no...

by Macy Beckett Toss the confetti, pop the champagne, and cue the dancing cowboys, because A SHOT OF SULTRY is available in stores and online! This is Trey's story, (you met him in the first Sultry Springs book, SULTRY WITH A TWIST), and believe me when I say that you want to curl up in bed and spend a little time with Trey Lewis. The man is so hot he singes the page! For West Coast filmmaker Bobbi Gallagher, going back to Sultry Springs is a last resort. But with her career in tatters, a documentary set in her hometown might be just what she needs to salvage her reputation. She just can't let anything distract her again. Not even the gorgeous contractor her brother asked to watch over her. As if she can't handle filming a few rowdy Texans. Golden boy Trey Lewis, with his blond hair and Technicolor-blue eyes, is a leading man if Bobbi ever saw one. He's strong and confident and—much to her delight—usually shirtless. He thinks keeping his best friend's baby...

Posted by Macy Beckett Baby it's coooooooold outside, and what better way to turn up the heat than with an advanced read of A SHOT OF SULTRY , the second book in my hot and humorous small-town "Sultry Springs" series? (Which just earned 4 stars from RT Book Reviews, along with the promise that "...readers will be left with smiles on their faces." Woohoo!) Welcome to Sultry Springs, Texas: where home can be the perfect place for a fresh start. For West Coast filmmaker Bobbi Gallagher, going back to Sultry Springs is a last resort. But with her career in tatters, a quick trip to her hometown might get her the footage she needs to salvage her reputation. She just can't let anything distract her again. Not even the gorgeous contractor her brother asked to watch over her. As if she can't handle filming a few rowdy Texans. Golden boy Trey Lewis, with his blond hair and Technicolor-blue eyes, is a leading man if Bobbi ever saw one. He's strong ...

By: Macy Beckett And if you think I'm referring to Christmas, you're wrong! Despite "much mistletoe-ing" and "hearts glowing"  in December, Thanksgiving is the holiday to rule all holidays, and I'm going to prove it to you! So sit back, grab a slice of pumpkin pie, and prepare to be enlightened, friends, for I give you: The Top Five Reasons Why Thanksgiving is the Best Holiday Ever 1. No presents . I love giving to others, but the pressure of finding The Perfect Gift for dozens of friends, colleagues, business associates, and family members makes me want to hide beneath my desk and assume the fetal position. Can't we just stand in a big circle and pass a $20 bill to the person on our left? Guess not. But that's what makes Thanksgiving so awesome: We get to relax with our families and enjoy a good meal without the stress (and expense) of gift giving. 2. Football . I don't like tossing the pigskin, nor do I enjoy watching it, but I wil...

Pour the champagne and cue the dancing girls! Wait, strike that. Cue the dancing GUYS! Because my debut novel has FINALLY released! Woohooooo! Welcome to Sultry Springs, Texas: where first loves find second chances... Nine years after June Augustine hightailed it out of Sultry Springs with her heart in pieces, one thing stands between her and her dream of opening an upscale martini bar: a bogus warrant from her tiny Texas hometown. Now she's stuck in the sticks for a month of community service under the supervision of the devilishly sexy Luke Gallagher, her first love and ex-best friend. If Texas in July wasn't already hot enough, working side-by-side with June would make any man melt. Luke wants nothing more than to strip her down and throw her in the lake--the same lake where they were found buck naked and guilty as sin all those years ago. In their heads, they're older and wiser. But their hearts tell a different story... And what do reviewers have to say?...

I'm Macy Beckett, and I have a confession. See the pretty cover up there? The one with moonlight dancing over a placid Texas lake? Well, I've been having a secret, obsessive relationship with that book. (Shh! don't tell my husband!) It all started a couple of months ago when the FedEx man delivered a batch of ARCs (advance reader copies) to my doorstep. Sultry with a Twist is my debut novel, so this was the first time I'd seen my work in print form. It was magical. It was stunning. It was A REAL BOOK! It also occurred to me that if I was holding my secret lover, other people were, too. (She gets around, but that's okay. We have an open relationship.) Not only had print ARCs gone out to bloggers and reviewers, but the digital copy was available on netgalley . That meant strangers were reading my book! Commence screaming! That's when the nasty beast Anxiety  wrapped its tentacles around my body, bent me over the sofa, and had its way with me. Holy ...

Happy Friday, everyone! Macy Beckett here, and if you haven't noticed, our topic this month on the Casa Blog is HEAT. Oh, the possibilities! I could blog about this: Who doesn't love MAGIC MIKE? (Source: Ew.com) Or this: Macy's toes on vacation! But I'd rather CRANK UP THE HEAT with a giveaway! I have an ARC of Sultry with a Twist  in my hot little hands, and I'm giving it to one lucky commenter . Win me, baby!  Welcome to Sultry Springs, where first loves find second chances... When June Augustine hightailed it out of Sultry Springs, Texas, with her heart in pieces, she swore she'd never return. But nine years later, one thing stands between June and her dream of opening an upscale martini bar: a month of community service under the supervision of the devilishly sexy Luke Gallagher, her first love and ex-best friend. As lust turns to love, June must decide where she belongs: in the glorious anonymity of Austin or back in Sultry Spring...

Happy Tuesday, everyone! I’m Macy Beckett , the new kid on the blog, and I’m thrilled to join my Casa Sisters in discussing our favorite summer pastimes. As you probably guessed from the title, we’re going to talk about this: (Image source: Jenny's Southern Comfort) Oh, yeah, baby! Bring on the fruity firewater! Alcohol has many names—booze, hooch, alky, sauce, spirits, social lube—but no matter what you call it, a cool libation is one of my favorite summertime pleasures. Why have literal sex on the beach, (sand…ouch!), when you can experience it in liquid form? How about one of these Parrot Bay frozen daiquiri pouches? Just throw ‘em in the freezer for a couple hours and viola—a tropical vacay in your mouth! One of my friends calls these "Capri Sun for parents." (Image source: Monarch  Beverages) Another personal favorite is the TGI Friday's Orange Dream mix. Just pour it in the blender, add ice, and in minutes, you're sipping a grownup ver...
